Scripts for Climatic Research Unit
This repository aims to collect, manipulate, and generate variables related to climatic shocks on AMC (Comparable Minimum Areas) in Brazil. The following tasks will be implemented.
- Collect data from Self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (scPDSI).
- Collect data of precipitation, temperature and potential evapotranspiration from CRU TS Version 4.05.
- Collect data from Brazilian maps defining the geographical boundaries of the AMC from Ehrl, Philipp (2017) Minimum Comparable Areas (AMC).
- Combine grids within areas, generate statistics, and build historical data.
- Collapse historical data as panel data at the quarterly frequency and at AMC level.
